Don't really miss it, but I kinda liked this car (my wife"s):
The V8 is supposed to be the one to get, but I've got a soft spot for 6's.
This one I really miss:
Traded it in after a (this is the last straw) near encounter with a hooved rat.

I drove it to Brands Hatch on street tyres, swaped that for slicks... finished 3rd... and drove home... Wheels went in my street car (Caynne S) driven by a friend... It was GREAT, leaving the track and looking at everyone else prepping in their big trucks etc. I really miss her... I know where she is so maybe I'll try to get her back. Sold her for a right cause though. Bought a 996 RS sequential with what I got for her and had a great season with that one too.
The Michelin sticker was the back of my street license plate... When I got to the track, I just swapped sides... Those were the days!

Was that in '00 or '01? When I sold my '73S it was because I found a cheap RS America to make into a club racer. But I couldn't justify making the S into a racer. Should have just put my foot down and told my then (newish) wife that no way, no how was another decent 2.4S going to come along for the $9K I bought the car for............
Other than that, I had a really nice '79SC that was in need of a full restoration. Scrounged up all the good pieces to make it into a nice driver and autocross car. 3.2, 7/31 LSD gearbox, '85 Carrera interior with the good sport seats, 8&9" Fuchs, raised & decambered spindles with revalved Bilsteins, etc etc. But the track bug beckoned again and I needed a truck and trailer. Customer of mine gave me a ridiculous price, so off it went!
(That's not the RSA in the pic, I did use that '92 C4.........pig that it was.........until the RSA was race ready.)

1996 Porsche 993 converted by Kelly Moss Motorsports to RSR Spec.
Full carbon-kevlar body, including the roof. PMNA RSR motor and trans.
Penske 2-way shocks...lots of high quality detail.
I had the body repainted by Kelly Moss last spring. The engine also went through a full rebuild and with Motec data and ECU installed.
Originally I planned to sell it and buy a new 997 Cup, but with todays hostile economy, I just don't know what I'll do...
It's been a crappy winter.

1965 red Lotus Elan convertible which I bought in 1968 and used as a daily driver to get to law school. (Not a great car for that purpose.) Sold it in 1971 when I got married and couldn't live with the idea that my wife might have to drive it. Traded it in on a brand new BMW 2002 which cost around $3000. and I think my trade was $1200. The Elan was a disaster to maintain but I sure wish I still had her...

In November I got an e-mail from Vera @ PMNA inquiring if I wanted to buy a new 997 Cup. Though I did not formally commit to the new car, I kept my word to Jeff and we worked out a deal.
I'm really sorry to see her go. That is a fast, well handling car that will be hard to top.
Damn....
